Saimiar is an agglutinating, ergative-absolutive largely left-branching language spoken by the Saimi people, who formed the Saimiai empire and spread their language to much of eastern Dvanashi. Because Arzhanø's culture of magic-users was largely formed in the late Saimiai empire, Saimiar has come to be used as a lingua franca of mages of and influenced by the Arzhanai tradition of magic.
